Approved For ~ase 2004/10/08 :CIA-RDP79M00062~0500060008-2 OGC 73-1981 X1 19 October 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: AD/DCI/IC SUBJECT: Unclassified Omnibus NSCID fidi/f~ -73 _ // 93 ~~ 1. The outstanding question raised by Senator McClellan with respect to NSCIDs apparently can be satisfied by an unclassified statement of functions and responsibilities which has been prepared. 2. In the time allotted, we have been unable to do a complete and detailed review of the substantive information contained in your draft but if this goes forward ?undoubtedl the s ecific rovisions can be looked at a ain. 3. We believe there are a number of reasons for not going forward with this. The practical purpose of gaining coordination from the various departments and review in the White House would, undoubtedly, be time consuming. Additionally, however, we are concerned about the timing. There are numerous bills introduced on the Hill to modify the Agency charter. Some of these are extreme and could cause serious difficulties for the Administration and the Agency. However, Senator Stennis is actively pursuing amending legislation in a responsible fashion and the Nedzi Subcommittee clearly is going to do likewise. This raises the question that if an unclassified NSCID appears there will, undoubtedly, be raised the question of why the "Agency charter" should not be placed in legislation. Clearly such a result would be undesirable. Deputy Legislative Counsel Approved For Release 2004/10/08 :CIA-RDP79M00062A000500060008-2 Approver Release 2004/10/08: CIA-RDP79M~62A00050 18 OCR' ti9~~3 MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy to the DCI for the Intelligence Community SUBJECT Unclassified Omnibus NSCID 1. Pursuant to your request of 17 October 1973, we have reviewed the draft unclassified NSCID and concur in its release on an unclassified basis. 2. We have noted that the first page after Tab C states that there is "no reference to nuclear information in unclassified NSCID". Paragraph 8a of the Omnibus NSCID mentions national technical means of verification as related to...the limited nuclear test ban. 3. Please advise if any additional information is desired. director of~,8'ecurity cc: EO-DD/MSS Approved For Release 2004/10/08: CIA-RDP79M00062A000500060008-2 App~`wed `Fo~lease 2004/10/08 :CIA-RDP79M000~000500060008-2 ~~~ ~~~ ~ AI~~~ ~~~~~~iri~~ ~~~~~ r~~~~s ~~~s9~~~ sub~t~~c~~~ ~~~? ~~ sty ~ ~ ~ei:tt i? ~~~~ ~a r~~i~~t ?~~ ~~ ~'~ t~S ~1~ ~ Fief 'amt, '~ ~~~ ~~ ~~ ~,~if#~d ~~4 Thy ~d t~ Apo ~ ~~~~I~. ~~' ~~ ~ ~ ST Ai~cn ~~~ ~~ IC/PRG:JET:bg Distribution: 1 -Each Addressee 1 - AD/DCI/IC 1 PPRG Chrn ~A~~bi~sc~-r~elease 2004/10/08 :CIA-RDP79M00062A000500060008-2
